Mechanical Engineering Information
Q: I plan on attending the University of Idaho next year for a Mechanical Engineering degree. And I am looking for some supplamental information that I will be able to use for my studies.Any information would be a great help.
A: -The daughter of a friend just started in Chem. E. at Colo. School of Mines. I wanted to give her something for high-school graduation that would help her in college, so I went to Barnes & Noble and browsed. I found a big yellow book that was touted as everything anyone needs to know to take the EIT. It looked really good. Sort of a Schaum's-Outline-type synopsis of thirty or forty subjects, including basic Chem, organic Chem, Electronics, Engr. Econ. etc, in addition to all the obvious math, physics, and basic engineering subjects. I spent a whole afternoon browsing and think this book looks like a really great one-volume book that will provide supplemental reading, reference, etc. for an undergraduate engineer. Sorry I don't have the title. Ed mcBride, P.E. -The book Ed is describing sounds like Engineer-In-Training Reference Manual by Michael R. Lindeburg, PE -Try the Tribology Handbook by Edited by Michael Neale of Neale Consulting Engineers, Farnham UK, or see web site, www.tribology.co.uk
